Dear Parents,
We get it...you are trying to teach your kids, do your job, and not get sick. What was originally two weeks could now be three months. To help we have teamed up with one of our summer enrichment partners, Black Rocket, to provide you with a series of opportunities for your kids to learn and have fun while they are at home during the next few months. The activities are designed for young people from age 7 to 14 and are offered during spring and summer 2020. Visit blackrocket.com/online for more details or see below.
Virtual Open Houses Every Wednesday in April -- FREE
As you know, we have had to cancel our open house this year. Instead, we will be providing virtual open houses every Wednesday at 6:30 EST via YouTube. Check out the new classes being offered this summer!
Play Together Initiative- eSports Open Play and Live Streams -- FREE
The No. 1 feeling children report during this crisis is loneliness and isolation. To help them connect with friends, Black Rocket will host open play eSports competitions every day at 3 pm (Central time). All games are safe and child friendly. Play with a friend or make new ones in this safe online community designed for children. Compete in live streams and WIN A SCHOLARSHIP to our summer programs.
Online Courses with Live Teachers
In April and May we will have a Coding Sampler Course and a Game Design Sampler where students can try out a different lesson each week from our most popular summer courses. Students will have access to live instructors each afternoon Monday through Thursday and 10 hours of video tutorials in an online learning portal. During the Spring only, registration will be directly through Black Rocket.Please use the coupon code, Go Mules, when registering for either the sampler or the self guided course that follows.
